Noam Chomsky Calls Dem Focus on Russia a ‘Huge Gift’...‘...May Have Handed Him the Next Election’
Mediaite ^ | 4/19/2019 | Joe Paolo

Posted on 04/20/2019 7:22:29 AM PDT by simpson96

Noam Chomsky, the noted progressive scholar, believes Democrats have focused far too much on Russia. And he thinks it might earn them four more years of President Donald Trump.

Speaking at a forum in Boston with Amy Goodman, Chomsky stated his view that he always believed there was going to be little to no proof of collusion in the Mueller Report.

“[T]he Democrats are helping him,” Chomsky said. “They are. Take the focus on Russia-gate. What’s that all about? I mean, it was pretty obvious at the beginning that you’re not going to find anything very serious about Russian interference in elections.”

He added, “As far as Trump collusion with the Russians, that was never going to amount to anything more than minor corruption, maybe building a Trump hotel in Red Square or something like that, but nothing of any significance.”

Chomsky went on to say that he believes focusing too heavily on Russia may cost Democrats dearly next November.

“The Democrats invested everything in this issue,” Chomsky said. “Well, turned out there was nothing much there. They gave Trump a huge gift. In fact, they may have handed him the next election. … That’s a matter of being so unwilling to deal with fundamental issues, that they’re looking for something on the side that will somehow give political success.”

What’s funny is that they were following a playbook laid down by Noam and Alinsky, which is apparently now obvious it was to their own detriment.

The democrats have done nothing but have tantrums and resist for over two years. They’ve done nothing to help the American people.

The Dems can’t stop. Russia is their candy and they have to get their fix.

RATS can’t give up now. They’ve reached for an even larger shovel. Just be prepared for the 24/7 bitchin’ for the next six years.

I wonder of Gnome thinks giving Russia 20% of our Uranium reserves in exchange for a donation to The Clinton Foundation is signifcant.

Nahhhhhhhh.

The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal. This lie deployed from their arsenal was too massive to swallow. However the criminals live to tell other lies. Thus, the republic is not free.

a gift is given knowingly.

perhaps with all the science on structure,
grammar, and syntax, definition(s) are ... ignored.

just ask SCOTUS which redefines simple words
like “taxes” and “new”.

You are never going to hear the word “Russia” from these people again.

What you are going to hear, until your ears bleed, is “obstruction of justice”.

All that Democrats are good for is raising taxes to pay for their backroom parties (semi-sarc). So all kinds of time to demonize PDJT.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA!

Dems are still trying to milk the issue, and their brain-dead followers are buying into it.
